That sounds unusual. Man: Yes, it is a little. But it’s good. Woman: When does the festival begin? Man: On Friday. Last year it finished on Saturday, but this year the festival will run for three days, not two. Woman: Good! I’d like to go. Is it open all day? Man: The gates open at eleven in the morning, and they stay open until midnight. Woman: I don’t think I’ll stay that long. But I might go in the afternoon from about three o’clock until seven o’clock. Man: Well, don’t come by car. The city centre will be very busy. Take the bus. The number 50 goes to the park every 15 minutes. Woman: Good idea. Man: And when you go, look out for Paxman Pies. They are really good! Woman: Sorry, what kind of pies? Man: Paxman.

30. We at the Countryside Club love the outdoors and we want young people to love it too. That’s why, once again, we are holding a writing competition. Last year, we asked children to write about their favourite animal from the British countryside. This year, the subject is different. We want you to write about your favourite place in Britain. It could be a beach, a forest, a park or a mountain. But it must be outdoors. You can’t write about your bedroom! So, if you’re between the ages of eight and fifteen, start writing! Last year, you had to be less than 12 years old, but we decided to change it this year. You must write between 200 and 400 words. The best ones will appear in our Countryside magazine. The winners will also get a free family ticket to London Zoo. If you want to enter, please send your entry to 25, Black Street, Portland – that’s 25 Black Street, Portland. Your entry must arrive before the 14th October. We look forward to reading your entries! SUPPEMENTARY EXERCISES

32. Excuse me, I’m looking for this book. I checked on the computer and it says that the book is on the shelf, but I don’t see it there. What is the name of the book? It’s called ‘Natural History’. Natural History… okay, and do you know the writer’s name? George Davies Is that D-A V I S? Er… one moment. No, it’s D A V I E S. Okay, well, yes, the computer says there is a copy of the book on the shelf. The shelf number is 184.733. Was that where you looked? Shelf 184.733, did you say? Yes. Yes, I already looked there. Perhaps a student put it back in the wrong place. I looked around on other shelves nearby. I didn’t see it. Maybe someone is reading it now. Well, we also have a copy of this book here, behind the desk. It’s a short loan copy. Short loan? What does that mean? You can borrow it for five hours only. That’s not long. Can’t I take it out of the library? SUPPEMENTARY EXERCISES

33. Yes, you can. But you need to bring it back on time. The fines are expensive. How much? You must pay one pound an hour if you bring it back late. That’s a lot. Well, if I take the book out now, I will need to return it before… five hours did you say? Yes. You’ll need to return it by a quarter to four. Can I take it out again after that? Only if no-one else wants to borrow it. So I could take it for another five hours after that, and bring it back at… half past eight. Yes, that’s right. Really? Are you open that late? Yes, the library doesn’t close until half past eleven. That’s good to know! Okay, I’ll take this copy please. No problem. Give me your card please… Okay, that’s done. Thanks for your help!
